Interesing that it wasn't Adam....I'd be willing to sit Adam a game or two if his play doesn't pick up. Sabres might not be happy...but then again, thats why he was sent down...his play had deteriorated...and if it doesn't improve here, then its quite proper to let someone else play. Disappointed in the recall, but thats life.

Well in this case the Amerks already have Rankin ready to come back. Depending how long McCormick and Boyes are out for they may call up someone else for the West coast trip. A good scenario would've been Tropp staying and Kassian coming back but that was wishful thinking.
